This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Mirai Kamiya moved slightly closer to Beichuan Temple.

Kitagawaji's expression did not change at all, as if what Nagasawa Ao just said could not cause the young man any emotional fluctuation at all.

In fact, this is exactly what happened. Beichuan Temple was mentally prepared for the worst before coming here.

After all, he had already guessed a lot from Yihui Shenzi's diary.

As long as you anticipate the worst-case scenario in everything, nothing should be surprising about what happens next.

Compared to the surveillance of the islanders, Kitagawaji wanted to know where Kamiya's future parents disappeared.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple drank the water in the water glass at hand, and then asked: "Excuse me, where did the future parents disappear?"

Nagasawa Ao shook his head and sighed: "If I hadn't attacked Beichuan-kun, even if you knew the location, you wouldn't have been able to enter it."

You know the location but can't enter?

"Is it possible that the villagers will still hinder...?" Mirai Kamiya asked with a frown.

Nagasawa Ao nodded: "They told us that Mr. Zhi and Ms. Qianxun have been involved in the trial. If they can pass the test, then they can become the 'celestial beings' of this Yihui Island. During the trial, During this period, no one is allowed to disturb those two people.”

He grabbed his hair as he spoke, with an expression full of confusion: "Although I also know that 'Heavenly Man' means a person who has achieved enlightenment, but what does it mean to be involved in a trial? In the end, what does it mean to be involved in a trial? Those people have blocked all the roads to Yushen Forest."

Nagasawa Ao laughed twice, looking extremely helpless.

Involved in a trial?

What does this trial represent?

Kitagawaji's eyes flickered, he muttered, then stood up and asked simply: "Mr. Nagasawa, are your future parents missing in Ojinsen?"

"...Yes." Nagasawa Ao didn't quite understand what Beichuanji wanted to express.

"Then how to get to Yushensen?"

Kitagawa Temple continued to ask.

"..." Nagasawa Qing.

He just felt that Beichuan Temple had not listened at all to his explanation and explanation just now.

Nagasawa Ao couldn't help but look up at Beichuanji's expression.

Beichuan Temple looked at him without retreating.

As if feeling the determination in Kitagawaji's eyes, Nagasawa Ao sighed heavily and had to agree: "Okay, I'll take you over to have a look, Kitagawa-kun."

"But I also hope you won't be impulsive. If you really can't enter from the front, we can retreat temporarily and think about ways to enter the Goddess Forest together."

"I won't be impulsive." Kitagawa Temple replied without any scruples.

Nagasawa Qing responded in a low voice.

He could also see that Beichuanji with this kind of character was not an impulsive person, and the words he just said were just to remind him.

Nagasawa Ao decided to take Beichuanji there to have a look. He believed that Beichuanji would not rush up to fight with the villagers guarding the entrance and exit alone.

Besides, looking at Beichuan Temple's appearance, he doesn't have the ability to challenge the villagers who have been doing manual labor for a long time.

With this thought, Nagasawa Ao felt much more at ease.

And at the moment when he felt relieved, Beichuan Temple suddenly spoke again.

"I would like to ask how many residents there are on Yihui Island?"

Um?

What does this question mean?

Nagasawa Ao opened his mouth. Although he didn't understand the purpose of Beichuan Temple's question, he still thought for a while and replied: "Uh... just looking at the superficial statistics, it is estimated that more than a thousand people live here. Bar."

"There are only more than a thousand people." Beichuan Temple squinted his eyes and murmured to himself in a low voice.

"Uh...Kitagawa-kun, what did you just say?" Nagasawa Ao looked at Kitagawaji in confusion.

The voice of Beichuan Temple just now was too soft, so he didn't hear clearly what Beichuan Temple was mumbling to himself.

"It's nothing." Beichuanji said in a steady voice: "I just feel a lot more at ease about what I have to do next."

"......is that so?"

The monk Nagasawa Sejoji was confused.

From the conversation just now, he didn't feel even one centimeter so reassuring.

But Beichuanji said that he felt much more at ease.

Nagasawa Ao shook his head, and after getting rid of these distracting thoughts, he didn't care so much. He turned around and emphasized to Mirai Kamiya: "No matter what, don't be impulsive. Do you understand? Mirai."

After all, Kitagawa Temple still gave him a very reassuring feeling. What he was most worried about now was that Kamiya, the blood relative of Kamiya Haru and Kamiya Chihiro, would do some irrational behavior in the future.

After all, that was Kamiya’s future blood relative.

"...I know." Kamiya agreed in the future.

"Okay, let's go over there and have a look." After receiving Kamiya Mirai's guarantee, Nagasawa Ao reluctantly took out his flashlight and planned to take the two of them to Ogami Forest.

It is now seven o'clock in the evening, the sky is already dark, and it is impossible to look very far simply by looking at objects, so a flashlight is also needed.

It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to Goshen Forest from here. You have to pass through a mountain forest road in the middle. When you are completely away from the noise and noise of the outside world, a long shrine winding along the road appears. In front of Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai.

Note that the rope is tied to the deep trees on both sides, and the zigzag-shaped imperial coins on it are slightly swaying under the influence of the mountain wind.

Not far from this shrine, there are twinkling lights.

It seems that several villagers are guarding this shrine.

Nagasawa Ao turned off the flashlight, lowered his voice and said to Kitagawaji and Kamiya Mirai beside him:

"At the end of the shrine is the Goshen Forest. There are no signboards or shrines in the Goshen Forest. It is said that in the deepest part of the Goshen Forest, the most famous sacred tree in Ihui Island is served, the Goshen Tree. It is said that only those who can cultivate it can Only those who are truly enlightened can reach that place.”

"I see." Kamiya nodded in the future.

Nagasawa Ao continued: "As you can see, there are a lot of guards now. I guess we have to find other opportunities to come and check the situation. After all, what we can do at night is very limited, right? "

He was about to persuade Beichuanji and Kamiya to return as soon as they got here in the future, but Beichuanji, who had not spoken much along the way, spoke again; "In other words, the two future parents are in the Yushen Forest. Bar?"

"...There is no problem in understanding it that way." Nagasawa Ao nodded.

Kitagawaji nodded thoughtfully, then took out a small stuffed doll from his collar and handed it to Kamiya Mirai, and said: "You can go back now with your pity. If the villagers really have any problems, you can find them." Hide somewhere, and I will leave a mark on the road to find you. Similarly, I have a certain fighting ability now, but you should try your best not to get into a fight or fight, do you understand? "

Kitagawaji's tone seemed to be explaining the funeral affairs, which made Nagasawa Ao instinctively feel a little bad: "Kitagawa-kun, what are you going to do--"

Kitagawa Temple glanced at Nagasawa Ao: "Please, Mr. Nagasawa, please take care of the future for the time being."

"No, what are you going to do..." He was completely confused.

then--

Under Nagasawa Ao's gaze, Kitagawaji moved his steps and rushed up to the place with the flickering lights on the shrine at a speed that he couldn't even understand...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five dull sounds came from above.

It was the sound of a human body falling to the ground.

Before the shock on Nagasawa Ao's face faded, Kitagawaji quickly came down from the top again and said calmly:

"The guards have taken care of them all, you should leave here now."

"..." Nagasawa Qing.

Is Beichuanji the person who reassures me?

Kitagawa Temple doesn't look too impulsive?

People with Kitagawaji's character don't need to worry too much? !

Nagasawa Ao now felt that all the psychological descriptions he had written in the previous one or two hundred words were like being fed to a dog. The corners of his mouth twitched and he took several deep breaths before nodding: "I understand."

Beichuan Temple's abilities exceeded his expectations.

At least Nagasawa Ao didn't see clearly what Beichuan Temple had done just now, and the villagers who looked strong fell down directly.

If we leave the matter to Beichuan Temple, there should be no problem.

But the key lies in the follow-up.

If someone replaces the guards and discovers that all the previous guards have fallen down——

It doesn’t sound good no matter what you think about it, right?

"Tera-kun..." Kamitani opened his mouth in the future.

Looking at her expression, Kitagawaji just nodded and said into her ear:

"rest assured."

"...Yeah." Kamiya Mirai nodded, then opened his hands and hugged Kitagawaji firmly:

"Tera-kun, thank you."

"Let's go."

Kitagawaji waved his hand, then grabbed his backpack, turned around and walked towards the depths of the Ogami Forest Shrine without looking back.

There was a dark flow of air flashing through his eyes——

...

It's the third day of being trapped. I didn't find much while exploring the surroundings today. On the contrary, I spent too much on my good intentions.

Kamiyaji put down his notebook, looked at the dim light of the flashlight at his hand, and frowned tightly.

There were only a few batteries left in the flashlight, and there was only one day's worth of food left. If you can't figure out a way tomorrow, you might really be trapped and die in this deep sea of ​​trees.

There were many dead bodies hidden under this dead realm. Usually, a resentful spirit would suddenly appear halfway through the walk, and the resentment was the strongest he had ever seen.

"Is this the biggest reason for the sharp decline in the population of Yihui Island?"

Kamiyaji thought.

If you don't think about it, you will definitely die here, but if you use your brain to think about it, there may be a glimmer of hope.

"How is the condition of the mirror? Chihiro?" Kamiyaji asked while adding firewood to the fire.

Kamiya Chihiro shook her head. She was always very nervous and knew that the current situation was not optimistic.

She took out a small round mirror from her arms.

The edge of this round mirror is smooth, and there are a few petals of graceful lines like snowflakes scattered in the center of the mirror.

The snowflake pattern was entangled with light golden airflow, and the entire lens shone with a strange brilliance.

The mirror is something that Haru Kamiya and Chihiro Kamiya found in an old traditional building in the early years. The strange snowflake pattern on it can gather kind thoughts and solve the ailments of the human body.

Moreover, good thoughts are the most powerful thing to restrain evil spirits, so Kamiya Haru and Kamiya Chihiro kept them.

In fact, they also have many kinds of props, which are all used to deal with resentful spirits, but those are just some portable consumables, which are quickly consumed in this dead zone.

The two types left behind are the mirror from Kamiya Chihiro's side, and the other is the ancient imperial pestle that he currently carries.

Since these two props have been around all year round, they also have the ability to gather kind thoughts. This is the most important reason why they were able to see the strangeness of the voodoo doll at a glance that day.

Speaking of voodoo dolls... Kamiyaji couldn't help but think of Kitagawaji.

That cold-looking young man.

Although the other party didn't say it out loud at the time, I guess the other party must also have a good impression of the future, right?

"I don't know what's going on in the future now." Kamiya Chihiro hugged her legs and looked at Kamiyaji with her head sideways.

Kamiyaji glanced at her: "Her character will not suffer, even if the two of us are gone."

"Hehe." Chihiro Kamiya chuckled twice, moving her buttocks tightly against Kamiyaji: "Speaking of how we met back then? When we were investigating folklore? Or -"

Kamiyaji glanced at her with some disgust and reminded: "It's school time."

"Yes." Chihiro Kamiya rolled her eyes in a circle and laughed twice: "Zhi still has a good memory as always."

Kamiyaji shook his head when he heard this: "This has nothing to do with whether your memory is good or not. Some things must be remembered carefully."

Yes, whether it is someone else's kindness or some important things, Kamiyaji will remember it firmly.

Maybe he doesn't have the ability to repay it now, but if he has the ability in the future, he will make up for it one by one.

But judging from the current situation, the chance of survival is slim.

The two fell into silence.

After a while, Kamiya Chihiro suggested: "Zhi, how about we go directly to...that place tomorrow?"

"..." Kamiyaji's face darkened slightly.

The place Kamiya Chihiro was talking about was actually the ancient village group they had already discovered.

That ancient village has been abandoned for a long time and is completely uninhabited.

Strange totems, rotten wood, rising resentment...

Everywhere in that ancient village revealed a sense of dilapidation and weirdness.

The same ancient village is also the place with the strongest resentment in this dead land.

Maybe you can find an opportunity to highlight dangerous situations there.

But equally, both of them might die in it.

This is what is called opportunities and risks coexisting.

Seeing that her husband did not express his opinion, Kamiya Chihiro continued: "We still have one day's worth of food now. If we continue to live like this without waiting to encounter those terrible things, we will naturally weaken. By then we will be truly complete." There's no chance."

She stood up, held her husband's face, and said with gleaming eyes: "No matter what! We have to give it a try and cure it."

Kamiya Chihiro’s high-spirited look reminded Kamiyaji of the first time he met her——

"Regardless of whether it has investigative value or not! It's interesting to study this kind of thing! Don't you think so? Zhijun?"

He took a deep breath:

"good."
